IT'S NOW said thai Attorney General Gar
land approved the interstate commerce bill
before the President signed it. 1t was only
a few years ago, when Mr. Garland was a
Senator, that he opposed the bill because he
thought it was unconstitutional. 1t Is al
ways, and by no means unnasurally, the
subject of adverse criticism when man OF
mature years changes his opinions, and es
peciaily so when it is possible for him TO re-
ceiye any kind Of benefit from such change.

EXA.NDRIA,.
EVENING, FEBRUARY 10.

THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE keeps its in
dicna.ion warm, and never allows to pass
unimnroved an opportunity TO denounce
President Cleveland. Its last leader is I'M
usually severe as well as unusually long
Richmond Dispatch.
The GAZETTE always says what it thinks,
utterly irrespective Of what other people
think, be they few or many, and as it never
speaks without thinking twice it is usually
correct, aud always speaks the same way.
If some ofits contemporaries would follow
its wise example in this respect their op'n-
ions would be more effective. AS regards
length, the Dispatch is old enough to know
that the strength of newspaper articles lies
in their breyity, not in their length.
